Jeremiah's 1st mock draft has coveted QB falling to Jets

Could this be the year that the Jets finally land themselves a franchise quarterback?

Depending on who you ask, the answer is yes. In Daniel Jeremiah’s first mock draft, the NFL.com analyst has the Jets landing UCLA star Josh Rosen with the sixth overall pick.

Heading into 2018, the only two quarterbacks the Jets have on the roster are Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg. While it is possible the Jets look to bring back veteran Josh McCown, the team is still in need of a quarterback either way. Rosen would certainly solve that problem.

Rosen is considered one of the most pro-ready college arms in this year’s draft. In some other early mock drafts, Rosen has gone as early as second to the New York Giants, who could potentially be looking to find the heir apparent to Eli Manning.

In all likelihood, the Jets will be scouting all of the college quarterbacks closely. Along with Rosen, Sam Darnold, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield should all be on the Jets’ radar in the first round.

Rosen is a terrific prospect and has the ability to make every throw. He has the ability to start immediately in the NFL. If he is available at the sixth pick, it would be a big steal for the Jets — but don’t count on it.
